TSB catalogs and processes all materials added by the New Mexico State Library, acquired via deposit, purchase, donation, or digital capture. We follow and uphold local and consortia standards. We teach and train those who use these standards. We are in charge of quality control for the bibliographic, authority, and serial holdings records in both our local system and in our consortium, SALSA, and in our bibliographic utility, WorldCat.

Processing PrioritiesLet us know if you have a pressing need.

Newspapers and periodicals checked-in on day of receipt (SF, ABQ, WSJ, NYT first thing in the morning)

Microfilm reels received on subscription are checked in on day of receipt

New purchases cataloged and processed within one week

Track progress using date on routing slip

Federal shipment boxes opened and checked against packing slips within one week

For cataloging newly published state docs will take highest priority

We will ship state publications to depositories on a bimonthly schedule

State deposits "copy 2 and copy 3" (the NMSL circulating copies) will be available before the monthly shipment is mailed

Exceptions apply if TSB member is on leave; we have backups in place for the "book drop" newspapers.
